Enjoy your Muftititi. So relatives of my mother from Beirut went in a delegation to visit the (Sunni) Hariri-appointed Mufti of Lebanon. For the entire duration of the meeting, the Mufti railed against Hariri TV and New TV. He was not objecting to the coverage of the two (opposing) stations; but he was furious that the two stations owned by two Sunnis (from Sidon) have a multi-sectarian staff. He said that Christian TVs hire only Christians, and Shi`ite TVs only hire Shi`ites, and he wants Sunni TVs to hire only Sunnis.
